https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025/may/09/sadiq-khan-to-announce-plans-to-build-houses-on-london-green-belt

Sadiq Khan is announcing plans to build on parts of London’s green belt, in a dramatic shift in housing policy aimed at tackling “the most profound housing crisis in the capital’s history”.

In a major speech on Friday, the mayor of London is expected to say the scale of the challenge, which could need about 1m new homes built in the next decade, requires a break from longstanding taboos.

It marks the first time city hall will support the strategic release of low-quality or inaccessible green belt land near transport links in order to provide hundreds of thousands of new affordable homes.”

[Guardian]

Very sad. Apart from that, when they talk about “low-quality or inaccessible land“, what “low-quality” means in this context is simply land on the edge of built-up areas, which may not always be very scenic (but could be, with political will to improve it). “Inaccessible land” is still better than the same land being built on, and its very inaccessibility provides a haven and sanctuary for animals, birds, insects etc.

This is what happens when a country is invaded by a million migrant-invaders per year (legal or illegal)— pressure on land, transport, public services etc increases, housing becomes unaffordable, and life becomes stressed and unpleasant. Look around. The evidence is all around you.

Disgusting pair. I hope that the sentencing judge passes a suitably condign sentence. I hope that I do not read “Sycamore Gap vandals escape prison“. This was a horrible and destructive crime, an act of evil; there was also huge economic damage to the surrounding region (I have seen figures estimating damage of up to £1M).

Just a tree? So tie them to a tree for a few weeks, or months (in winter).

I don’t care whether migrant-invaders are legal or illegal, or whether or not they break UK laws while battening upon us. I just want them all gone.

Yet another opinion poll placing Reform UK in government, potentially. According to Electoral Calculus, a Commons with 314 Reform UK MPs, 168 Labour MPs, 63 LibDems, 39 Cons, 36 SNP (etc). Reform 12 short of an absolute majority, but on the cusp of a working one.

https://www.electoralcalculus.co.uk/userpoll.html

[“Let’s put emotions aside for a moment. The United States .. like any sovereign nation .. has every right to reclaim its independence, pursue its national interest, and break free from parasitic entanglements that have long drained its dignity and resources. What we are witnessing today may be the first real attempt in decades by parts of the American establishment to free themselves from the stranglehold of the Zionist lobby. But here’s the irony: the very idea that America might make decisions based on its own interests has sent Israeli officials into a frenzy. Why? Because for decades, they’ve treated the U.S. not as an ally, but as a tool .. a weaponized servant to carry out their ambitions, silence their critics, and whitewash their crimes. And now, as the leash begins to loosen, their panic grows louder. Let’s be clear: This isn’t a battle between good and evil. It’s a clash between Racial superiority and religious superiority One seeking global domination through lies, manipulation, and media .. driven illusions , Blackmailing , assassination The other aiming to reassert global control through , brute force, and economic imperialism We now stand at a crossroads for America: Either the United States, through Trump, succeeds in imposing a model of sovereign imperialism based on American supremacy… Or Israel unleashes its old playbook .. media manipulation, financial pressure, political chaos .. to manufacture another storm, just as it did when JFK tried to challenge their influence and paid for it with his life.“]

Interesting. Plaid is of course not truly “national” or “nationalist”, but more akin to the SNP in Scotland. Its basic premise, that Wales should be an independent state, is of course ludicrous, especially but not solely from the economic point of view.

Having said that, I can see why Welsh voters in Wales are going for Plaid (the apparent tautology is in fact not so, because a great number of voters in Wales are not Welsh, being either non-European —non-white— or English, mostly the latter; there are a few other small groups as well).

I think that Plaid is making hay because the main System parties, Lab and Con, are perceived as both hopeless and not “local” (to Wales). That was not always so (in relation to Labour) but I think it probably is so now.

As for Reform’s upsurge in Wales, it follows the rise in support for Reform in England and even in Scotland.

In Scotland, Reform is rising up, but another consequence of the drastic fall in support for both Con and Lab is that the SNP may survive, however unmeritedly, and may be able to increase its Westminster representation from its present 9 MPs (out of 57 Scottish seats) to something like 30; not quite the 56 out of 59 it had in 2015, nor even the 48 out of 59 it had in 2019, but still respectable, and a plurality of the 57 Scottish seats that now exist.

Put another way, people across the UK are binning Con and Lab, and I do not see that changing.

The YouGov poll is about the Senedd (Welsh Assembly) elections, not Westminster voting intentions, but must have relevance to the next general election.

One of the best polling results yet for Reform.

Running that through Electoral Calculus (notionally putting LibDems at 15% and Greens at 10%): Reform 375 MPs; Labour 121; LibDems 62; SNP 38; Cons 25. A Reform government with a very large majority of 49 (working majority of about 59).

I keep seeing Labourite and Con Twitter-twits’ tweets saying “still 4 years to go“, as if the main System parties will somehow regain public trust before 2029. Are they serious?!

Historical essay

https://www.timesofisrael.com/without-these-queer-mps-the-uk-would-never-have-gone-to-war-with-hitler/

The Glamour Boys: The Secret Story of the Rebels who Fought for Britain to Defeat Hitler” tells the story of a small, loosely-knit group of rebel Conservative MPs who, from the mid-1930s onward, repeatedly warned of the dangers posed by Nazism, highlighted the plight of the Jews and vigorously opposed the appeasement policy of their own party’s prime minister, Neville Chamberlain.”

[Times of Israel]

Incidentally, the photo in the piece, purportedly Dachau camp in 1933, is in fact —as some readers’ comments also point out— Dachau camp in 1945, showing American soldiers in the course of shooting German prisoners.

Britain should never have gone to war with National Socialist Germany.

Interesting view and analysis from the New Statesman. Not as tendentious as one might have expected.

Another view, this time from Cheshire Live: https://www.cheshire-live.co.uk/news/chester-cheshire-news/election-sees-voters-questioning-labours-31522527.

According to one poll, the only two significant contenders, Reform and Labour, are neck and neck, both around 35% of the vote. As to the bookmakers —in my experience a less reliable indicator— Reform are odds-on favourites at about 1/2; Labour 2/1: https://www.betfair.com/exchange/plus/politics/market/1.241434500.

As previously blogged, the only ways to sink Labour in this seat, and to at least “send a message” to Starmer-stein, are either to vote Reform or to vote anywhere but Labour or, failing that, not to vote at all. Whatever you do, do not vote (fake, taken-over) Labour.

I still think that Reform may smash this, but concede that I may be wrong. We shall soon know— the by-election is in three days’ time, Thursday 1 May 2025.

Import backward populations, import their religious, social, political and other behaviours. Surely that is not too hard for people to grasp, even those brainwashed by “anti-racist” propaganda?

Only a disciplined social-national movement can now save Britain and all Europe. Reform UK is a mere way-station. The real deal will come after Reform and all existing System parties are shoved aside.

She cannot believe that her treasured fake “centrist” parties have been found wanting by the British people. She has even invented a non-existent “moderate” party (it exists in her mind and tweets but nowhere else). Its “moderate” policies would include near-open borders, huge amounts of money funneled to Zelensky’s corrupt dictatorship, and huge, even unstinting, support for Israel and the Jewish lobby.

Nein danke…

Unfortunately, Douglas Murray is “a white man in a suit” who is a complete puppet of the Jewish/Zionist/Israel lobby. I should not complain about “racism” were it such that it were defending true European race and culture.

Of course, were anyone to denigrate “a black man in a suit” in the msm or System media, something seen daily, there would be uproar; the police (in their new chosen role as a poundshop Stasi) would probably get involved, in fact.

Yes, the USA might well be able to deploy 10x the military-destructive power that Russia can. Maybe even more. However, simple mathematics says that 0 x 10 is no different than 0 x 1. Once you are destroyed, you cannot be destroyed all over again.

Yes, it may be that the major Russian cities and towns and military bases could all be obliterated by American nuclear weapons, but I dare say that the 100 biggest American cities could also be largely destroyed by Russian missiles, together with the major American military facilities.

Puppet and mouthpiece of the Jewish/Zionist/Israel lobby, Iain Dale, does not think that the public should be allowed to see or hear the truth on this issue.

The fact is that, proportionate to the population(s), non-whites commit far more crimes than white English/British people.

In fact, even publishing the formal national origins of persons convicted does not and will not tell the whole story, because many of the non-whites committing crimes hold “British” nationality; indeed, many were born here. In quite many cases, those non-whites committing crimes have parents and indeed even grandparents born here, by reason of the mass immigration that has hit Britain in the past 80 years (mostly the past 60 years, indeed the past 30).

I recall how amazed I was, as a belated Bar pupil (trainee barrister) and then junior barrister (early 1990s) to see how high was the proportion of non-whites on trial in the criminal courts of London. That was 33-34 years ago. Imagine now!

If you were to take out the figures relating to “travellers” (Irish tinkers) etc, the proportion of actual English/British defendants would be even smaller, very considerably so,

Of course, as blogged previously, quite a long time ago, LBC is owned by a company itself owned by Jews. Use the searchbox on the blog to discover more.

Security guarantees of the type demanded by Zelensky are practically equivalent to NATO membership anyway, and would be also of the type given by Britain and France to Poland in March 1939. That one made the Second World War almost inevitable. Don’t make the same mistake twice.

Owen Matthews. He wrote an interesting memoir about his mother, Ludmilla, or Lyudmilla, called Stalin’s Children, mainly about his mother’s life in the Soviet Union before she settled in London: https://www.theguardian.com/books/2008/aug/28/guardianfirstbookaward.awardsandprizes2.

Time flies to such an extent that, when I read that book, 14-15 years ago, around 2010 or 2011, I got halfway through before I realized that I had known the author’s mother (though only slightly) in the early 1980s, when I was taking a part-time Russian language course at a language institute near Euston Square in Central London. The language school was part of what is now the University of Westminster. Ludmilla Matthews was one of about 5 teachers I had. I think that her subject was Russian Conversation.

Ludmilla Matthews had something not quite right with one of her feet. She was kind enough to say once that my (in fact quite rudimentary) Russian at the time was “stylish“. I remember her mainly for having talked to me about her reluctant acquaintanceship with a (literally) mad Russian or Russian/Polish girl. That was after said girl had almost kidnapped me by guile, having said that I looked like St. Herman of Alaska (I had a beard at the time), and that she had an icon of St. Herman above her bed at her home in Kensington, and would I like to see it? You get the picture.

Anyway, Owen Matthews, now 53 and a well-known international journalist and writer, must have been about 12 when his mother was my once-a-week teacher: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Owen_Matthews.

I have written once before on the blog about these matters, I think.

Using Electoral Calculus [https://www.electoralcalculus.co.uk/userpoll.html], that works out at Reform 254 MPs, Labour 183, Conservatives 75, LibDems 71 (Green 4, SNP 35 etc).

Once again, therefore, a minority Reform government, 72 short of an absolute Commons majority, and about 62 short of a working majority.

On those figures, the Cons are perilously close to becoming the 4th-largest party in the Commons, and utterly irrelevant.

There may be some truth in that, but it is the Jewish/Zionist/Israel lobby which has spearheaded the attack on free speech in the UK:

Tellingly, Matt Goodwin has never, not once, put the Jewish/Zionist/Israel lobby, particularly the malicious, small —but well-funded— “Campaign Against Antisemitism” [or “CAA”], in the dock…

Matt Goodwin? Controlled opposition, but useful all the same (moving the Overton Window etc, and maybe unwittingly paving the way for a later social-national movement).

Incidentally, even Jews, those who express criticism of Israel, or Jewish behaviour generally, are targeted: see https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/apr/23/dozens-of-members-of-uk-jewish-body-facing-disciplinary-action-over-criticism-of-israel.

Well-known Jews who have been mercilessly targeted by other Jews include the jazz musician Gilad Atzmon (I think that he is a half-Jew), author Michael Rosen, and the actress Miriam Margolyes. Another anti-Israel Jewess, the journalist Mira Bar-Hillel, too:

“Ms Bar-Hillel, who was born in Jerusalem and served as a folk singer in the IDF, claimed she was the victim of a trolling campaign. “You cannot criticise anything to do with Israel or Jews. You start by criticising Israeli government policy and then you get attacked by Jews,” she said…“I’m prejudiced against Jews who criticise me. Their religion has everything to do with it. I’m reporting something that’s horribly wrong with the policies of Israel and they attack me. In my long career no other group has acted in this way.

“When I’m being attacked I feel I’m being attacked by communal action. That community view is very dangerous. It is intimidation. The best way to respond to these things is to simply ignore them. It starts to be like a gang-bang.”

Late thoughts

This blog punches above its weight. It may only have a relatively small number of regular readers (and far fewer commentators), but it has influenced many many people. It has reached directly about 150 states and territories in the world, and quite possibly all 200 or so indirectly.

I have always taken the view that “one human soul is a big audience“, and that if I can influence one young Alexander, Adolf Hitler, Mahatma Gandhi or, indeed, Moses, then the fact that I do not have a huge audience or a readership of millions becomes irrelevant. As Dietrich Eckart said when nearing the end of his life, “do not mourn me…I shall have influenced history more than any other German“.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dietrich_Eckart

I often see used distinctive phrases I myself have used (first) in the past, whether on the blog or from tweets when I still had a Twitter account (a pack of Jews had me expelled from Twitter in 2018, following a concerted campaign or conspiracy which lasted several years, and which continues).

For example, I think I was the first to use the terms “migration invasion” and “migrant invaders”, since echoed by many politicians and others, including even some Prominente from System parties.

If you put a drop of intense ultramarine dye into a pool, pond or lake, after a while, the water goes blue; all the water. My blog has that kind of influence, despite the fact that most of my blog posts have been read by, at most, only a few thousand people (each), even after several years.

It is because my blog has influence far beyond its actual numbers of readers that the Jew-Zionist lobby has made extensive efforts to shut it down over the past 8-9 years since first publication in late 2016.

Well, so far I am still here, and the blog is still being published near-daily, despite malicious complaints by Jews, despite backstairs attempts to procure prosecutions (by Israel puppets such as ex-MP —now “lord”— Ian Austin), despite repeated police interference, despite my having been put on trial in 2023, despite my having been sentenced in 2024, despite everything.

On the macro level, I see things beginning to move my way.

However, despite the Easter truce, Kyiv forces attempted to attack Russian army positions in the Sukhaya Balka and Bogatyr areas of Donetsk. Overnight, Ukrainian forces used 48 drones, one of which targeted Crimea. Ukrainian forces attempted to bomb Russian military positions 444 times after the ceasefire was announced, and carried out 900 drone strikes.

“They” do…

Looks like something from about 1955.

In any case, were there ever a real military attack from (presumably) Russia (a conflict with which would be mad from the UK point of view— it would finish this country forever, probably), one of the first places to be attacked and eliminated (possibly by Spetsnaz attack, prior to the launch of any missile) would be Fylingdales itself.

On the wider aspects, while those working in such establishments may be fed the line that they are protecting the UK from attack and/or invasion, the reality is that the UK society those soldiers think they are protecting is decaying from within, and being invaded daily by literally thousands of migrant-invaders, both “legally” and “illegally”, and by births to non-white mothers within the UK.

UK society is changing, and being poisoned, before our very eyes.

Translation: what, really, are they protecting?

…meaning that only the wealthier Americans will be buying imports from the EU (that is largely the case anyway, of course).

We need a great deal more than that but, in our emergent police state, I am “not allowed” to spell out what is needed.

What is the point in “debating” with the enemies of the British people? Portes is of course a “(((youknowwho)))”, and I suspect (but concede that I do not know) that Zoe Gardner (@ZoeJardiniere on Twitter/X) is similar.

That interpreter will certainly never forget the day.

The usual pathetic “honours” nonsense. Deadhead MPs, or ex-MPs, cronies and political donors, and a few sports people I have never even heard of, the latter to keep the plebs happy while society implodes around their little Sky Sports bubble.

Conservative Friends of Israel drone Gove, drunk and on cocaine at Westminster. A total enemy of the people; he should be punished, not rewarded.

One of the 5 tweets that (after the Jewish lobby pushed for it) got me disbarred in 2016 was that calling Gove a snivelling expenses cheat in hock to the Jewish/Israel lobby. True facts. I (like most people) was unaware at that time (around 2012) that Gove was also both a drunk and a cocaine abuser.

Another of those 5 tweets was that calling Nicolas Sarkozy a corrupt little Jew. I was partly wrong there (he is only a half-Jew). Sarkozy has of course now been found guilty in a French court of corruption, alongside other Jews.

All my famous or (according to the Jewish lobby) infamous “5 tweets” (posted online between 2010 and 2014) have now been proven to have been true in almost every particular.

Incidentally, in more recent years, the Bar Standards Board wrote to me inviting me to have the disbarment annulled and a “rehearing” take place, mainly because I should never have been tried by a 5-person panel but only by a 3-person panel (which would have had no power to disbar), but I declined, partly because I was already well over 60 and unlikely to resume Bar practice, partly to show my contempt for the Bar (which is now a craven, multikulti dustbin afraid of its own shadow and especially the shadow of the Jewish/Israel lobby).

In other words, had I taken up that suggestion, I should by now have been reinstated as both barrister and —perhaps more useful to me— as a member of Lincoln’s Inn (a pleasant place for a lunch or dinner when in London). Still, I have no regrets, none of importance anyway.

When will “they” have had enough revenge, and enough blood?

Not (yet) quite the view I have been putting on the blog for the past three years, i.e. Russia to take all of Ukraine east of the Dnieper, as well as a wide coastal strip from the Dnieper as far as a point west of Odessa. Kiev and Odessa to be free cities (either autonomous or jointly-controlled). The rest of Ukraine west of the Dnieper to be ruled by a Ukrainian administration based in Lvov.

I think that the above formulation by me would be fair, and could form the basis for a lasting, if not very friendly, peace.

The Kellogg plan is frankly not as good as mine. It involves British and French forces effectively working with those of the Kiev regime on the ground, and has every likelihood of entangling the Western forces in conflict with Russia, directly.

Russia will never accept that plan anyway.

In any case, from the British point of view, why should we be involved at all? Ukraine has only been a supposed state for 34 years, and Britain has no historical connection with Ukraine, nor any national interest in getting directly involved.

The bottom line, though, is that Russia will never accept such a plan.

Thousands of people left in limbo since plans to deport them to Rwanda were axed will now have their asylum claims processed in the UK, Labour has confirmed.

More than 5,000 asylum seekers were on an initial list drawn up by the previous government to be sent to Rwanda under a deal between the two countries.

One of the first acts of the Labour government was to scrap the Rwanda scheme, resulting in many of the 5,700 people the Kigali administration had agreed to accept having their claims processed in the UK asylum system. Some subsequently received decisions on their claims but it is estimated that thousands have remained in limbo.”

[Guardian]

As predicted on this blog, the Keir Starmer-stein “Labour” (Labour Friends of Israel) misgovernment is “solving” the problem by simply rubberstamping the applications of the migrant invaders.

Even under the fake “Conservatives”, at least 80% of the applications were “processed” leading to acceptance. In other words, over 80% were being allowed to stay, meaning that they then get rights to housing, social security/”welfare” payments, and all other benefits available to the actual British population.

This latest news is, of course, the tip of the iceberg. It is probably correct to say that over 90% of migrant-invaders are now being allowed to stay in the UK, with most of the rest also in effect allowed to stay by reason of not being removed from this country. In fact, the few actually leaving are almost all doing so voluntarily, and there are very few of them.

The next step will be, as I also predicted, “processing” invaders before they even get on those rubber boats. They will then enter the UK superficially “legally”, along with the enormous number of other “legal” migrants (migrant-invaders). Between half a million and one and a half million a year.

Meanwhile, brace yourselves for the impact of vast new waves of “legal” immigration (invasion) from India: see https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2025/apr/09/we-are-nearly-there-uk-and-india-agree-90-of-free-trade-agreement.

Pity that, at that time, the courts (and the Government, and the news media, especially idiots such as Piers Morgan) were driven by panic and by “me-too” thinking or non-thinking.

As I predicted on the blog, the stupid shutdown of the economy and society because of a virus which was actually killing almost no-one would damage the UK for many years, and so it has transpired.

Some thoughts around the Trump tariffs etc

Assuming that the tariff wars continue and even escalate, what will result?

To my mind, the basic or overarching result will be that trade between the USA and the worst-hit other states will fall away, fall off, and then become trade among those tariff-hit states. China will deal more with Russia, India, Japan, European (including EU) states etc.

It is said that diplomacy has three main branches: classical or straight diplomacy (diplomats, intergovernmental contacts, military pacts etc), economic “diplomacy” (trade and trading incidents, eg tariffs, sanctions etc), and cultural “diplomacy” (such as that which used to exist between the Soviet Union and the West, via such bodies as the UK Foreign Office-funded G.B.-U.S.S.R. Association, to which I myself belonged in the 1980s).

Already, we can see that Russia is gradually forming a trade axis with a core group (China, North Korea, Iran) and a wider outer group (India, and numerous other states across the world). Now, the American or Trump tariffs will create a different bloc of tariff-hit states trading inter se and interpenetrating that first bloc. A kind of Venn diagram.

I can only assume that those advising Trump have it in mind to rebuild American industry and commerce by choking off the supply of foreign goods and maybe also services entering the United States, thus stimulating domestic production. That might work, though at the cost of driving up prices in many cases. However, there would obviously be consequential effects, in that retaliatory tariffs would hit American industry and commerce. China is leading the way in that regard.

The ultimate effects are still unknown. Of course, economic warfare can result in real warfare, and that has been seen time and again, as with the US-Japan situation prior to 1941.

It is not unlikely that the next major war will be between the USA and China.

The scamdemic/panicdemic is still accepted by many as something real, rather than a massive hoax which basically temporarily reclassified influenza as “Covid”, and then pretended that a kind of Black Death was stalking Europe, thus opening up (as the WEF —World Economic Forum— crowed at the time) an opportunity for a “Great Reset” of society, including strict controls on free speech, travel etc.

The propaganda around “Covid” bit deep. I still see, years later, the odd loonie wearing the useless cloth facemasks once mandated by ill-intentioned bureaucrats and plotters (such as the infamous Professor Ferguson).

In fact, in the past few weeks, I have seen four such facemask loonies, one a pink-haired, fat, and youngish (twenties/thirties?) woman employee at a Tesco supermarket about 5 miles from my home, a second one also a Tesco employee, though without the coloured hair; the others two very elderly women shopping at the same store.

Some but not all of the preconditions for a second American civil war are in place.

Kemi Badenoch may have a British passport but is not really British; she is a Nigerian. Her mother deliberately had her in London so that she, Kemi, would be “entitled” to a British passport (and have the “right” of residence in the UK). Kemi Badenoch was brought up in the USA and Nigeria and did not return to the UK until she was at least 16.

Kemi Badenoch is an African with very shallow roots in the UK, is a puppet of the Jewish/Israel lobby, and believes that only those with significant money should have any rights. Bin her.

Not my opinion alone (though it would not concern me if it were). Opinion polls now have the “Conservative” Party around 20%, which (as far as I know) is the lowest level of support ever.

There is every chance that, in the Runcorn and Helsby by-election (1 May 2025), the Con Party will end up in 3rd, possibly 4th, or even 5th place (after Reform UK, Labour, LibDem, and possibly Greens).

Of course the two MPs deported from Israel are also not really British…

The problem British voters have is that all three main System parties (LibLabCon) are basically enemies of the people, all complicit.

Our animal friends.

Hard to believe…

Still, this may be the chance Europe needs. If Europe as a whole forms a better and more friendly relationship with Russia, and distances the USA (and China) somewhat, it would be to the advantage of both Europe and Russia.

Rayner’s £3,550 wardrobe and £1,250 New York getaway, courtesy of Lord Waheed Alli, scream entitlement—she can’t even dress herself on £150,000 a year. Reeves, our tight-fisted Chancellor, snatched £7,500 in outfits, while Streeting grabbed £1,160 Taylor Swift tickets as the NHS staggers. Phillipson’s £14,000 ‘event’ cash from Alli—birthday bash, anyone?—pairs with her concert freebies, and Powell’s £40,289 since 2019 marks her as a seasoned scrounger. Sarwar’s £10,117 in Scottish perks tops his MSP rivals. Together, they’ve gorged on £220,000 in shadow cabinet handouts—£700,000 across all MPs in a year—preaching equality while pocketing privilege. Hypocrisy doesn’t just drip from this lot; it pours, a rancid flood of greed proving they think rules are for us plebs and benefits are their divine right. Utterly revolting!“]

Runcorn and Helsby by-election

The more that I think about the upcoming Runcorn and Helsby by-election, the more I think that Reform are going to smash it.

No matter that I could imagine Reform with a better candidate (someone such as Matt Goodwin), though the Reform candidate seems voter-acceptable, anyway. The important thing, surely, is the hatred so many people now feel for the main System parties and even more —because of the feeling of betrayal— from Labour (in fact much more than for the Conservatives who, despite their appalling record 2010-2024, are now seen as near-irrelevant, finished, washed-up).

That’s before you even factor-in the fact that the Conservative Party is now led by a Nigerian woman who also seems totally clueless. Also, Kemi Badenoch’s thunder (on social security, tax, spending cuts etc) has been stolen by Labour. Labour is just a label now, and is even less social, let alone socialist, than the Conservative Party.

For me, it is telling that the Labour candidate for the by-election is trying to ape Reform, demanding the closure of hotels occupied by migrant-invaders etc. It is clear that Labour considers Reform to be its main rival, and not only at Runcorn and Helsby.

The 2024 General Election result is not helpful in analyzing this: Labour 52.9%, Reform 18.1%, Conservatives 16% [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Runcorn_and_Helsby_(UK_Parliament_constituency)#Elections_in_the_2020s]. However, that was then.

In the past nearly 9 months, the Labour “brand” has been totally trashed. The whole population, I should have thought, has turned away from Labour. Pensioners, the young, anyone receiving any State benefit at all, anyone anti-migration invasion, anyone with any genuine feeling for the English countryside, will not be voting Labour.

The petty corruption and sleaze of the Labour Cabinet may be dwarfed by the corruption of the past years of “Con Party” misgovernment, but the point, I think, is that people, especially in the North of England, somehow expected Labour to be somehow better.

The sheer “we are the masters now” arrogance and callousness exhibited by Rachel Reeves, Liz Kendall, Starmer-stein, and their lesser followers such as Torsten Bell, has disgusted millions.

People now, after only 9 months, see this Labour-label regime as being quite as bad, and in fact worse in every way, than those of 14 years of Conservative misgovernment.

I do not think that Labour’s appalling handling of foreign affairs (by thick “diversity-hire” Lammy, as well as by Starmer-stein himself) will count for much at the by-election, either way, but people can surely see that Starmer has made a fool of himself by threatening to send (almost non-existent) troops to Ukraine etc. That is so even for people who support the Kiev regime.

I think that important factors at the by-election will include the continuing migration-invasion, the petty sleaze and corruption of Labour’s top echelon, the hypocrisy of the same, the sense of Britain as a country sliding to chaos and even civil war (albeit not this year), the behaviour of the former Labour MP, the wish to give Labour a real kick and, perhaps most important, the sense of total betrayal by Labour.

At present, both polling orgs and bookmakers predict a modest or narrow win for Reform.

I may be wrong, but I think we could be looking at a huge win by Reform. A win in the region of as much as 50% or even 60% of the vote-share. Labour? Maybe 20%-30%. Cons? 10% or below; maybe even a lost deposit.

This might turn out to be a very significant by-election result. If Reform can win it, the win might pave the way for dozens of others in this Parliament.

Historical footnote

[Philby on a 5-kopeck late-Soviet commemorative postage stamp, and described as “Soviet Razvedchik“, a term which might be translated as “intelligencer”, rather than the grubbier-sounding “spy” (in Russian, “shpion”); “razvedchik” is a more polite or dignified term]

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/mar/22/mi5-surveillance-british-spy-kim-philby-made-public

Secret surveillance of Britain’s ­notorious double agent, Kim Philby, made public for the first time in archived documents, reveals how keenly the Security Service wanted to confirm or disprove early suspicions of his high-level treachery.

In daily bulletins submitted to MI5 in November 1951, undercover operatives describe how Philby, codenamed Peach, moved about London.

They said he gave “no outward sign of being either nervous or on the alert, but your well trained man should not do so; every movement is natural – again as it should be”

[Guardian]

The whole Philby thing has always been hugely overblown. Philby himself has been over-rated, too. Superficially well-educated, yes, but really a rather dogmatic Marxist-Leninist who, under other formative circumstances, might have been like some of the other basically mediocre professional-level bourgeois Englishmen I have met in my life, and who were not in secret-intelligence work but, variously, Roman Catholic converts, and/or military officers or barristers or other activity.

Philby was certainly no great mind, though he evidently thought himself very clever. Likewise, he was a bit of a plodder ideologically.

I recall that Philby wrote in his supposed memoirs (possibly part-ghosted by KGB helpers), My Silent War, or elsewhere, that “you choose your side and stick with it“, i.e. rather as others do to the Labour or Conservative parties, or to (the contemporary British obsession) football clubs. Unthinking loyalty. Stick-in-the-mud loyalty.

The puffing of Philby as the “masterspy”, or even “spymaster”, suited both sides in the Cold War: the Soviet side getting the gloss of having not only suborned Philby and other “Establishment” Englishmen to the Marxist/Soviet cause, but also having outplayed Western intelligence agencies in the spy game.

As for the British part of the Western side, Philby’s prominence could be presented as an example of why pervasive “security” (and the whole Cold War stance) was necessary. Also, his supposed “brilliance” in a way bolstered the reputation of institutions such as the more expensive English schools (Philby was at Westminster School) and, of course, the supposedly elite universities, in particular Cambridge.

The whole “Cambridge spies” story tends to puff the reputation of SIS and MI5 (despite their having been outplayed) by making their role seem terribly important. One scribbler even penned a well-known book called Philby— The Spy Who Betrayed A Generation, as if the Cambridge Spies were pretty much the centrepiece of British history since the 1930s, rather than an obscure footnote to it.

In the 1930s (when Philby started to work for Soviet organizations), there was (in the first half of the decade) the Great Depression, and the initial triumph of National Socialism in Germany. In the middle of the 1930s to 1939, the Spanish Civil War, while in Britain itself, the economy was recovering and society changing .

Then, in the early/mid 1940s, there was the titanic Second World War (in the Soviet Union, the Great Patriotic War).

In Britain, after 1945, there were the great social changes of the 1950s and 1960s. By that time, the “Cambridge Spies” were mostly not even in the UK. Maclean and Burgess had fled in 1951, and Philby was in journalistic exile in the Middle East. The economic and social changes in the UK were the main events, together with the start of the disastrous migration-invasion of non-whites into the UK, and Britain’s retreat from Empire.

The “Cambridge Spies” were not even footnotes to much of that. Near-irrelevant, despite the obsessions of the Westminster Bubblers and newspaper scribblers.

What damaged Britain in the 1940s through to the 1960s, and then on to today, was not a few spies passing on information to the Soviet Union, but the abandonment of Empire, the importation of blacks and browns in vast numbers, the cultural decadence etc.

You often see Philby and his fellow Cambridge spies described as “upper-class” or even “aristocratic”. In fact, not one was of “aristocratic” background, though all (except Cairncross) were affluent or wealthy. Philby’s own father was from an affluent government-connected family [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St_John_Philby] but a fact generally ignored or covered-up is that Philby’s mother, Dora, was half-Indian, a so-called “chi-chi” (pron. “shi-shi”), which may have subtly affected his loyalties.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kim_Philby

General Kalugin, in his memoirs, describes how his superiors had the idea of using Philby, then in Moscow, as a kind of lure for potential agents in the West, by showing that he was respected, had a good life etc. His first meeting with the shambling drunken Philby makes a memorable picture.

Incidentally, Philby never learned to speak or read Russian beyond a rudimentary level, and had English-language books supplied to him via the KGB (presumably via people at the London embassy, and the diplomatic bag).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oleg_Kalugin

In the early 1990s, sometime around 1994, I was slightly acquainted with a Russian businessman living in London, and with an office in Regent Street, who had some legal business (I was a barrister at the time). We had lunch at least once at my Inn (of Court), Lincoln’s Inn. I recall that the Spanish waitress was very taken with “Ed” [Edvard] and his rather Scandinavian looks (he was from the Baltic regions) and even asked me later if I might effect an introduction for her (that never happened).

“Ed” was quite open about the fact that, prior to his taking to capitalist business activity, he had been in the KGB, though that would only have been, at a guess, for a relatively few years. He recalled having been at a lecture or two given by Philby in Moscow (he said that that had been at the Lubyanka).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lubyanka_Building

Small world. “Six degrees of separation” etc…

Incidentally, those comments in the Guardian from the MI5 surveillance directorate in 1951 do tend to beg the question; after all, if a surveillance target is acting naturally, then either he is not guilty, or is literally acting (and/or has been trained to act) naturally, so in fact may be guilty. If, though, the target looks nervous, looks for reflections in shop windows etc, does that mean that he is guilty, or is he just a nervous wreck and/or afraid of being thought guilty? Wilderness of mirrors.

The sheer hypocrisy of the Labour Friends of Israel “Labour” government is simply unbelievable. Surely Liz Kendall, Rachel Reeves, Torsten Bell, Starmer-stein etc can see that? Or are they so removed from truth and decency that they cannot see it? That might be even more alarming.

I should imagine that even Labour-inclined voters will be voting Reform UK (or staying home) at the Runcorn and Helsby by-election, in order to send a message (and/or a kick) to this horrifyingly callous and irredeemably incompetent misgovernment.

As to Conservative Party loyalists in the area, I should say that the Cons have no chance— so vote Reform in order to stick it to fake Labour.

Given that there is a lot of talk about changes to special educational needs provision and reform plans for the NHS, we should worry about what the government might focus on next. Equally alarming, it seems to me, is a belief in Downing Street that reviving the UK demands embracing the wonders of artificial intelligence, which Keir Starmer believes will have an almost magical effect on everything from social work to education, and realise his new dream of “totally rewiring government”. Because this is an administration so lacking in everyday humanity, that is a much more scary prospect than he and his colleagues seem to realise.
